This project addresses marine biofouling, which affects ships and marine structures by promoting the growth of organisms like barnacles. It aims to develop a sustainable antifouling solution that minimizes biocide release while effectively preventing fouling, thus reducing fuel consumption and maintenance costs.
Marine biofouling can be defined as the colonization of man-made surfaces in seawater by microscopic and macroscopic organisms.
This phenomenon can result in great loss of function and effectiveness both for cruising ships and for static constructions.
Of special concern is the negative effects of hard foulers such as barnacles, which cause [1]: (i) increased drag resistance resulting in up to 40% increases fuel consumption, and (ii) disruption of the corrosion protective layer of marine vessels…
